I have a nice, well-running, well behaved Fedora installation. I'm thinking of buying Windows because I need to learn ASP.NET and Mono, for all that it does well, has some shortcomings.

I think I can just install the second hard drive with Windows and then point Grub at that drive as a possible boot point. Is that true? Or will Windows want to erase the MBR of HDA and thus this won't be possible at all unless I swap the places of the hard drives and reinstall GRUB onto the new HDA?
Either way, I'd like to do this (assuming I even choose to do it) in a
fashion that doesn't ruin my Linux install.

I have heard that Windows will wipe out the boot info for Linux if you install Windows on a box that already has Linux installed. For that reason, I've only set up dual boot systems by having the Windows OS installed first.
